Not only is Beelzebub, the Sin of Gluttony, badass in the Hazbin Hotel / Helluva Boss universe, she's what you see when people take five minutes to think about it.

Gluttony. It would have been so easy for her to be grossly overweight, an ongoing joke, at the expense of fat people everywhere.

But that's not what they did.

They made Beelzebub be a muffin, but centre around excess and hedonism instead of obesity.

It's still the Sin of Gluttony. But it's a treatment which doesn't burn anyone.

in which someone else feels the same way as me. especially those feelings of appropriation.

my friend, you are neither a girl nor a guy. there is a third option.

the ranis needed a reality that would break. they needed it thin and weak, a reality that would not hold up to the slightest bit of scrutiny. so they chose a right-wing populist’s fantasy. amazing

Totally missed it at the time, but Conrad's book from Wish World? That's Harry Potter.

Rusty, you beauty.

Mrs. Flood

So, Mrs. Flood is the Rani. Fine. Okay, I'm good with that. I like the Rani. The Rani is fun. But I really don't think she was intended as the Rani from the start.

The reason being that she is constantly breaking the fourth wall. A Time Lord, a Time Lady, shouldn't have the ability to do that. She would have to be some kind of extradimensional God - which we have dealt with in the story so far.

I think she was meant to be the God of Stories. A God who could know that Doctor Who was fiction, but that fiction would be just as real as anything else to her. And, crucially, this would allow her to break the fourth wall at a whim.

We covered the God of Stories in an (excellent) episode, we burned it, by then she was the Rani in Rusty’s plans. Fine. But I really don't think she was intended to be the Rani from the start.

All shall love me and despair

Not so much a big mood as a fucking enormous one and it has a knife

[daveio]

I will never understand “I am a Doctor Who fan and I don’t like the current series so the BBC should cancel it”.

Aesop rang, he’s got a dog in a manger and wants a word.

Anyway this is the funniest thing they could have done with Rogue. This should be a recurring joke, he should appear in a screen periodically to deliver a helpful message and say hey, I'm still in superhell, thanks for the superhell, I still love you though, in superhell, and the doctor should just be like. Cool thanks hot guy in superhell who loves me, and just continue to not rescue him from superhell. He's hot but not that hot I guess.

The Doctor Who youtube channel has set up a 24/7 Dugga Doo livestream I'm in tears

It's probably a good thing that Gen Z will never know what the late 90s and early 00s Internet was like.

They'll never know what we had and what we denied them. They'll never know what we let a few sociopaths turn into a particle accelerator for fascism while we gleefully used their products.

[daveio]

HEADCANON. FUCKING. ACCEPTED.

[daveio]

SPOCK NO

(this is in fact real)

[daveio]

This is what gives me the Arse about how disability is talked about.

No. Eating. Fucking EATING.

You help someone eat. You don't feed them. You feed an animal.

STORYTIME.

My first threesome. Two incredibly attractive partners. The night was a squishy adventure.

The next morning, the three of us woke in the same bed. They turned to me, getting friendly. It was fucky time.

I made them watch Stargate first, because the new episode had just come out.

I'm not sorry.
